Through various initiatives and support from the government, regulators, the financial sector, and all relevant stakeholders, Darmawan believes that the environmentally friendly economic sector can continue to trigger an increase in new investments such as renewable energy and its ecosystem.

"The main key to making this happen is collaboration from all parties, from the government, regulators, the financial industry, the community, and all relevant stakeholders, both nationally and globally," he said.
